    Nice video, just a few bits to help: the backpack: those two bits go on that central numb and it is meant for the weapon to be held under. The vehicle: all palitoy wheeled vehicles came with rubber wheels not plastic

    I think the SAS are more like Delta Force. The SBS (Special Boat Service) are more like the American SEALs. Even as a kid I was curious about adding a reallife Force to the others such as Space Force (my favourite)

    awesome review. the straps on the back is for holding the machine gun . it sits on the top and the straps fold over it and clip onto that peg on the back of the pack (but they can be super fragile) also the boat was also available in brown as was sold with the Action force AF3 Jeep. it doubles as a roof for it. one the main difference on the Panther and all the AF vehicles compared to the US counterparts is the tires and hubcaps are a rubber material then solid plastic. its the same on the Z-force APC. not sure when they made the switch cause in 85 we got the Cobra Night attack Jeep or Stinger as it was known in the US but it had all black rubber wheels instead of the lighter plastic ones of the Stinger :) .

    Backpack top straps are for holding the rifle on the backpack. Cross them over to the back peg with the rifle underneath.

    Great video! Hearing that theme tune again after so many years almost bought me to tears... To be fair I enjoyed that so much that I'm leaving instructions with my wife that if anything happens to me then she is to send you my collection of Action Force (so long as you promise not to put them in the sea)..... Of course I'm also hoping nothing happens to me.....

    Cool video! Really fun to see Action Force. I can't remember if Action Force was ever released here in Holland, but I did have some figures and a jeep very similar to this one, only it was green and came with a boot (like the one in the video) that could also function as the roof of the jeep. I think I bought them all while on vacation in Germany.

    If you have an original version of Snake Eyes, he could double up for Stalker who was the driver of the Panther, as they're basically the same figure except for some paint app differences. I had this when it was released in the early 80s, as well as the boat. When the boat is turned upside down, if you removed the gun, the centre peg that the gun sits in, slotted into the roof frame of the Z Force Jeep. The jeep also had the same wheels as the Panther. I still have the boat and Z Force jeep, but not any of the SAS Force figures or Panther jeep.

    It's a pity the Sunbow cartoon didn't have something like a 5 part mini series where G.I. Joe and Action Force need to join forces to fight some common threat. Could have been great, especially if they worked the Roboskull into it!

      If they ever did another GI Joe movie then a prequel retconning Action Force / Baron IronBlood to the Cold War era could have worked

    Interesting stuff as per usual...also, any chance we could get a video focusing more on the A-Team toys you mentioned in passing, please? (I know you did a very fun one about the pilot episode of the TV show, and I'm sure I remember that there was at least some mention of them in one of your 80s Toy Museum vids to boot, but the more we can get from you about everybody's favourite Soldiers of Fortune the better, yes?)

    Most of my Action Force stuff as a kid was from a holiday my mother went to in England when I was young. All rebranded Joe stuff though.
    I have a Sci Fi and a Zandar still sealed. I had a Cobra Fang in with my box of Joes which seems to have gone missing. The only evidence I had it is the Action Force labelled instructions. Also had The Pyramid of Darkness VHS.

    We had a recolor of The Vamp here in Brazil, from the toy collection of The Blue Thunder, it was blue and instead of the pulse cannon it had a rocket launcher with two large missiles. And I finally got The G.I Joe figure I wanted for a looooong time, Snake Eyes 25th v1, I just like the mask he uses that looks more realistic than that visor of the V2.

    Palitoys Action Force is really cool!! I love the Red Shadows. I never had any as a kid because they were phased out by the time I moved to Sweden from Texas in ’88 but the standard GI Joe figures and vehicles were sold as Action Force in Scandinavia up until ca. 1990-91 when they were sold as GI Joe like in America. Nice review of a great toy Michael!!🤘🏻😎🖤

    Thanks for the Action Force content!
    As a child my first Action Force figures were this kind - the softer plastic with fewer points of articulation. I later came to understand that these existed before the toy lines were merged. The majority of my Action Force figures were the rebranded GIJoe ones (and I believe we eventually just got straight up GIJoe's). There was an in between time where GIJoe characters appeared on the back on the old brand Action Force cards I think too. Looking back now I can't believe it wasn't confusing but apparently at the time I just rolled with it.

    Awww, I love it! She's a beauty. I love the text they used for the SAS writing. They yellow really pops, as does those light gray details. I would have definitely gone with this version of the Vamp over the tan or olive drab, but if this had been an AWE Striker..😊 Love the review! NERDMASTE'!!!
